- Bitcoin is poised to keep gaining in this bull cycle, according to analyst PlanB, as an asset can’t have diminishing returns when it’s still below 50% adoption.
- The analyst expects a run that takes the token to $1 million, pointing to the cost analysis, which shows that the realized price is going up, a classic mark of a bull cycle.
Bitcoin was once an asset that would gain 100x, making it popular even among institutional investors who were used to modest gains from stocks and bonds. Many believe this era is behind us, but according to analyst PlanB, BTC will gain over 1,000% this year and could hit $1 million as its on-chain and technical indicators align to spark a bull run.
In a video to his fans, the analyst dismissed claims that BTC can’t offer the same returns it has in the previous bull cycles. While its gains have slowed, no indicator shows that BTC’s best days are behind it, he told his 90,000 subscribers on YouTube.
“I don’t expect diminishing returns because we’re at 2 or 3% adoption,” PlanB noted, “and if we follow the logistic S-curve and Metcalfe’s law, we can’t have diminishing returns below 50% adoption, so we’ll have exponential growth for a couple more years.”
He believes Bitcoin will gain over 1,000% this year to trade between $100,000 and $1,000,000. If it were to hit a million dollars, Bitcoin’s market cap would be close to $20 trillion, making it the world’s most valuable asset. Gold currently holds this distinction with a market cap of $13.8 trillion.
PlanB: Bitcoin to Hit $1 Million
PlanB is known for his bullish predictions and has consistently predicted prices that seemed too farfetched but have come to pass. As he noted in a tweet:
In 2015, when I bought my first btc at $400, people said bitcoin was dead. In 2019, when btc was $4000, I wrote the S2F article, calling for $55k btc. People said I was crazy. oday, btc is $40k, and S2F model predicts $532k after 2024 halving. People say it is impossible. Today, btc is $40k, and S2F model predicts $532k after 2024 halving. People say it is impossible.
In his video, one of the reasons he gave for his prediction is the Bitcoin cost analysis. He pointed out that BTC is crossing above its average cost basis, indicating a bullish run.
“Bitcoin’s price crossed all the cost prices, so a lot of people are in profit right now, and Bitcoin is above the cost prices, and the cost prices are rising, especially the realized price, which is going up again, which is a hallmark signal of a bull market that is starting,” he noted.
Bitcoin trades just above $45,000 at press time, rallying from $43,700 in the past four hours. In the past week, it set a 52-week high at $45,800, with many attributing the spike to the anticipation of the spot ETFs this month.
